Beta reader!!: (Yes, I have one now!!) Thanks to Red, my god-mom for being my Beta reader and for the help with
this sometimes confusing AU fic! (and for putting up with me in my 4-year-old mode) LOL
This story would not be going on if it were not for my online family and our RPG. I am happy that
CK's life hasn't ended, and at first I feared no one liked her, but now I see that alot of people love her and wouldn't
know what to do if she wasn't there. Thanks for that! I love CK too, and I really like playing her in the RPG. Thanks
for keeping CK alive.
PLEASE send comments.
This is the sequel to Melly and CrazyKid: The 2 youngest patients/Terrors
*anything in between these are thoughts*
Special appearance by Hawkeye Pierce!! (From M*A*S*H)
A Mommy's Wrath
"PUT HER DOWN!!" A loud voice screamed from behind them. Kyle turned around and saw Red standing there, glaring at him, her whole body glowing purple. She rarely was forced to power up like this, but in this case, her anger was what brought it on. Kyle swung his arm and threw CK, making Red even madder. CK hit the wall and bounced off, crying out. CK climbed to her knees and Red thanked the Goddess for letting her be okay.
"CK! get Dixie and Tsh out of here! Stay with Hawkeye, all 3 of you!" Red yelled, not taking her eye off of Kyle. CK was going to argue, when she felt that she better not, and grabbed Dixie's hand, and Dixie grabbed Tish's, and with a longing glance at her mom, CK took them to safety.
"Good. I didn't want my baby to see me kill you." Red said, once the kids were gone. Kyle laughed. Red grinned, he thought he could defeat her just because she was a woman. *YEAH. Uh huh, that's happening. Not.* Red thought as she read his thoughts and saw what he'd done to the girls and to CK, and then, the all out fight of the millenium erupted.
Susie watched as Red and Kyle fought, fists flying and blood splattering from broken open mouths and noses. Then, red took over, and was beating him to a pulp, while he just took it, not fighting back, or blocking her rage filled blows. A kick to the gut sent Kyle hurtling back, sending him crashing through a window. He yelled as he began to fall, and Red flew out and caught him, giving him a revengeful grin. She flew way high up, over the whole VA building roof, with him dangling in the air.
"How's this Dougie? High enough for you? You'll leave a nice splatter mark from here." Red said, as he looked down. Susie watched from the window below now, staring up at the 2 specks in the air. "Never ever mess with Red or Red's family, Kyle. Red only kills for one reason..and you've found out the reason." Susie said as she watched her sister in action.
********
Hawkeye checked both girls and said that they were okay, minus a black eye on Tish and a scratch under Dixie's eye from a piece of glass that had hit her. CK suddenly gasped, staring towards the room where she was held captive. She sensed intense anger, and was shocked when she found it came from her mom.
"CK? What's wrong?" Hawkeye asked, shaking her shoulder. CK looked up at him, a stunned look on her face. "Mommy..Mommy's gonna..Mommy.." CK mumbled, yanking away from him. Hawkeye yelled her name as she ran down the hall, tears forming in her eyes. "No do it, mommy..pwease pwease..not do it!" CK begged herself, shaking her head no as she climbed back through the doors towards the room where the fight was.
*********
"What's a matter Kyle? Not high enough for you?" Red asked, as she tightened her hand around his throat. He started coughing and was shocked as she was only holding him up with one hand. "Can't breathe? That's the whole idea!" Red said, squeezing even tighter as he tried to make her let him go.
CK ran in and looked out the broken window, staring up at her estranged mom, and the dangling Kyle. Susie still watched, and didn't notice CK had returned. CK felt scared, knowing if her mom killed Kyle, people would take her away, send her to a jail forever and then she'd be all alone.
Tears now dripped off of her chin as she listened to her mom yelling..then the thought and vision of Kyle dying, of people in blue suits taking her mom away..CK saw it, and just the vision was enough to tear her heart out. Above, Red held out her other hand and CK caught her hand. She was folding down 4 fingers...
********
"4..Uh oh, one more Dougie..Then you're dead." Red said, down to one finger.
CK began to panic, and suddenly, the last finger fell and Red let him go. CK watched as Kyle fell, her eyes wide and teary. CK found her voice and screamed, "NO mommy! Not do dat!! Mommy, get im! Him die an dem peoples take you way fereber an me be all awone!!" CK screamed as loud as her sore throat would let her.
Red had been proudly watching Kyle fall, waiting for the splatter of his body, when she heard CK's plea and looked over and saw the tear soaked, terrified look on her child's face...Kyle was still falling when CK yelled again, pleading with her. Red growled and stopped Kyle from falling, floating him into the attic with her, over Susie's head. Once inside, Red put Kyle in a tight field and decked him once more, before leaving him be.
Over in the corner by the other window, CK sat crying, rocking back and forth. Susie looked over and saw CK, and then Red, as she went to her, crying herself. She picked CK up and held her, sitting on the floor among the broken glass. CK held onto her, crying on her shoulder, while Red cried on hers.
Susie watched Kyle, as CK sat up and looked at Red, whom was still crying. CK saw her mom's tears and hated Kyle for it. "No cwy, mommy..pwease?" CK asked, sniffling. "Was you weally gonna kill? Was ya?" CK asked, as she watched her mom wipe her eyes on her sleeve. "Yeah honey, I won't lie to you. I was going to kill him, but only because he hurt you and Tish, and Dixie." Red replied, and CK wiped her eyes too.
"C-Tay gwad you not, cos den dem peoples take you way an me be all awone, an me not wanna be awone, me wanna be wit you!" CK said, hugging her. Red looked at Susie, who gave her a thumbs up, while CK lay happily on her mom's shoulder, trying to memorize her smell. Patting CK's back, Red calmed down and kissed CK's head.
"Hey, I'm not going anywhere, honey. You made me realize I was handling it wrong, if you hadn't came back, I well..let's just say Kyle wouldn't be much more than a puddle right now." Red said and CK buried her face in her mom's shoulder, giggling. Red smiled at her. "Thanks, CK." Red whispered, and CK looked up.
"What did C-Tay do?" CK asked, whispering back. "You stopped me, honey. Not many people can do that, not even Susie. So, thanks." Red said, and CK smiled. "Me love you mommy..not wanna you eber yeave me...pomise you not?" CK asked in a whisper. "I love you too, and I'm never leaving you, I promise." Red said, not wanting to talk about death right now. CK hugged her and she stood up, holding CK.
"We gotta get him outta here, Susie? You think you can handle it?" Red asked, knowing Susie had her own plans. "Sure sis, I got it. No problem." Susie replied and Red smiled, she was proud to have her twin sister around, she was always there when she needed her. "I'll meet you back in the attic, okay?" Red pointed at the now sleeping CK. Susie nodded and as Red gave Kyle a cold look before turning and going out.
"My husband Jett will deal with you, you bastard. You're lucky CK got back here when she did, because my sister would have let you fall with pride." Susie told Kyle, who was yelling inside the sound proof holding field. Susie grinned as Jett came in. (He always does when you need him..just think his name and he'll come..LOL)
"Got someone for me, honey?" Jett kissed Susie and asked. "Yeah, that scum right over there. He kidnaped CK, Tish and Dixie, been a real bad boy. Red was going to kill him but CK asked her not to, so we saved him just for you, honey." Susie explained, hugging him.
********
Red flew to the attic and sat in the cocoon holding CK. She lay down with CK on top of her chest and covered CK with her blankie. She ran her hand over CK's head and smiled.
CK could be a brat, but her brattyness only went so far. She was still a baby, and her innocence was still there, dispite what Chris had done to her. CK mumbled 'mommy' in her sleep, and Red whispered, "I'm right here baby, and I'll never let you go."
Red put up a barrier to keep CK from rolling out and closed her eyes. She slept peacefully for a change, and so did CK, hearing her mom's heart beat was all she needed.
********
Jett sliced Kyle's throat and Susie smiled proudly. "Thanks honey, I can get rid of the body, it's simple." Susie said after Kyle was dead. She had to take a trophy for Red first, but then once that was done, she'd show him. "Oh is it now?" Jett asked, wiping his favorite knife clean. Susie wisked away all the blood with her magick, and Jett smiled. "I love it when you do that!" Jett said, putting his knife away. Susie giggled as she changed Kyle into a rat.
"See? nobody'll care what we do with a dead rat!" Susie said and Jett shook his head. "I see where Jesse gets his ideas from..Like changing me into a rock if I don't play with him." Jett said and Susie slapped at him playfully. "Oh yeah? Well, who told our 4-year-old that what we do in bed is bake cakes and make cupcakes? Hmmmm?" Susie pointed out and Jett laughed.
"Okay, okay. I take it back. Speaking of cakes, what's say you and me go bake a few?" Jett asked, taking Susie's hand. Susie giggled, "Okay, but let me get rid of the rat first, then we go." Susie replied, and Jett nodded. Susie made the rat disappear and reappear under a ton of garbage at the city dump. Once she was done with the rat, Susie went off with Jett to......Well, you know. (lol, please don't kill me susie..LOL)
***********
Susie (Who hasn't killed me yet..LOL) came back to the attic 2 hours later, and found 5 of the kids eating. "Hi auntie. I made some soup, want some? Mom an CK are asleep." Flight looked up from her bowl and asked. "Yeah, I'm pretty hungry." Susie replied as she walked over and sat down.
"I want Nikie and Fanny in the tub next. Fancy's had her bath, and MCL too." Flight said, and both girls nodded. MCL grumbled from her seat and Flight looked over. "What're you grumbling about?" Flight asked, handing a bowl to Susie. "Thanks Flight. Smells good." Susie said, taking a wiff.
"Thanks, mom showed me how to make it, it doesn't take too long to make, either." Flight replied as MCL pushed her bowl away and got away from the table. She hadn't touched the soup even once. "MCL! Get your butt back here and eat this." Flight said, pointing at the bowl, using her rarely heard stern, im-the-big-sister-not-you voice.
MCL flopped down on the sofa. "No." She replied, and Flight looked shocked. "MCL! You are acting just like CK!" Flight said, and MCL shrugged. "So." She replied, and Nikie looked at her. "Boy, you sure is." She said, and MCL glared at the 7-year-old. "Shut up!" MCL yelled back, and Flight stood up. NIkie turned back to her soup as Flight started to get irritated. MCL had NEVER given her trouble, and this was totally new for her.
"MCL you get off that sofa and get to your bed, right now." Flight said, not yelling, pointing in the direction of the bedroom. MCL remained on the sofa, not worried about Flight. "If you make me come over there, you're gonna see a side of me you've never seen! BED! NOW!" Flight said almost in a mom-like tone and MCL finally got up. She gave Flight an evil look as she went to her bed and pulled back the covers, plopping herself in the middle, burying herself. *I hate this whole god-forsaken family...* MCL thought as she drifted off to sleep.
"That has never happened before. Something is bothering MCL, and it must be bad for her to act like that. As far as I know, MCL's never been punished by anyone here, she's never even been grounded. I better leave a note for mom, in case she gets up before I do." Flight said to Susie, whom was unusally happy, the outburst by MCL and Flight not ridding her of her smile, which was plastered on her face. Flight knew what was up with her and grinned.
Nikie and Flight cleared the table, then Susie went with Fanny and Nikie to get their baths. 20 minutes later, they were back and Flight tucked them in bed before going to get a bath herself. When she came back, she went to bed, and Susie did too, but Susie fell asleep on the sofa, in front of the TV.
**********
"Come on down and meet some friends a'mine." The TV said, as the end of South Park's theme song went off. "Huh?" Susie asked, sitting up. She saw what was on TV, and then who was in front of it. CK sat there, in her footy jammies, holding Bougie, laughing at Stan calling Cartman a big fat ass.
"CK! I am waking Red if you don't change that channel!" Susie threatened, and CK ignored her. "Fine! And I hope she spanks you too!" Susie said, as she got up. She walked over to the cocoon and climbed the ladder, looking in and saw Red was still asleep, sprawled out.
"Sis, hey sis." Susie said, shaking her sister's shoulder. Red mumbled something about Face as she opened her eyes. "What? I'm having a great dream about Face, so this better be good." Red replied, yawning. "Well..." Susie said, looking over her shoulder. Red rolled her eyes. "CK, right? It's okay, I'm up." Red replied, knowing no one but her could handle CK. "Thanks Red..CK's got South Park on again." Susie said as Red followed her down the ladder.
Red walked over to the TV and yanked the plug out of the wall. "Oh my goddess! You kill Kenny! You bastard!" CK yelled, pointing at Red as the TV died. "CK! Don't talk like that. You get your little butt up and get dressed before I whip it. I told you no watching that horrible TV show!" Red growled, still sleepy and annoyed.
Red smiled over at Susie behind CK's back, she'd never seen CK get up and do as she was told like that before..the sight of a tired mom must have told her not to argue. Susie grinned as Red took on her angry-woken-up-out-of-a-great-dream look again.
"O-tay..me goin, me goin." CK grumbled as she got up and went to her closet. She pulled her new purple, white and lavendar outfit out and changed into it from her footy jammies. Then she sat down and pulled her purple sneakers on, closing the velcro, she was done. Red watched and nodded. "Good girl." Red said, smiling again as she watched CK climb up onto her dresser and grab her hair beads.
CK climbed back down and took them to her mom. Red smiled as she picked CK up and sat her on top of the cleared kitchen table. She pulled out her hair brush (I swear she can hide a kitchen sink in that cloak of hers..) and gently fixed CK's hair in her two tails, wrapping the red beaded hair-ties around each short tail. "All done honey. And I am serious. No more South Park, got me?" Red said, and CK nodded as she brushed CK's bangs down. CK giggled.
"Tank you mommy." CK replied hugging her. CK had known all along Red wasn't really mad at her. Red hugged her back and was about to reply when someone knocked on the attic door. Red put CK back on the floor as Susie went and got the door. "Oh hi Murdock. Yeah, CK's here." Susie said, letting CK's big brother in. "Hi Susie, Hi Red. I wanted to ask if I could take CK with me for awhile. We need to talk." Murdock said, and CK hid behind Red.
"Sure Murdock. But bring her back here when you're done, she's grounded to the attic." Red replied, pulling CK out from behind her and gently shoving her towards her brother. "No problemo Red, She'll be back later." Murdock replied as CK took his hand. Murdock and CK walked out. Red and Susie went into the bedroom to clean up, and Susie looked at Red.
"Wonder what that was all about." Susie said after they'd gone.
"I think I know, and I have a feeling CK's not going to be a happy camper." Red replied, as she picked up CK's discarded Jammies. Susie nodded.
"Face?" Susie asked, as she helped make the beds. Red raised her eyebrows.
"Yep. Murdock's never really punished CK, not that it really counted, but this time, she's gone too far, even for him. Face is Murdock's bestfriend, and I'm sure CK's gone way over the boundry line." Red replied and Susie nodded.
"Even Murdock has his limits."
